After the spam attack on this forum last year I understand the need for a filter, however I find the filter a little restrictive at times when trying to post various error messages or code to the forum.  I was wondering if it was possible to do one of 2 things

1. Relax the filter for registered users.

OR

2. Create a new group of users - call it "trusted_users" or something that have elevated posting priviledges allowing them to bypass SOME of the spam filters settings.  (these users could also have the ability to remove or hide posts that look like spam)?  There is a core group of users who answer questions here regularly that might benefit from this change to the forum.

Cheers

Ben
